"I'm usually too busy," lazy, "t'cook much, but I know all the best places in town. You're welcome t'use the kitchen any time you like, just don't burn the house down, an' check the expiration dates on everything before you start cookin'."
What? He was a bachelor. Hurricane mom rolled through once in awhile to make sure he had real food in the house and not just micro meals and potato chips, but after that was all gone the cupboards went bare and largely ignored.
That was the thing about having mom live so close, and a deputy who's wife's cooking could put Paula Dean to shame. Plus, everyone else who happened to be eating when Bill wandered by.
The sheriff protected the community, and the community fed him. It was a good system.
